A method for enhancing the rust resistance and the surface finish of a non-ferrous workpiece such as, aluminum, is disclosed. The method comprises the step of impinging the workpiece surface for a predetermined amount of time with a high velocity stream of ferrous particles. The ferrous particles preferably have a hardness less than approximately 40 Rockwell C preferably 20-40 Rockwell C, and still more preferably 30-40 Rockwell C. The particles are not tempered before impinging. This substantially eliminates stress cracks in the ferrous particles, thus substantially preventing any particulate ferrous matter from becoming imbedded in the impinged workpiece surface, which imbedded …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 17, 1994 and granted December 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 17, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 17, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
